Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing Songtext / Lyric

Hey, who's that stompin' all over my face
Where's that silhouette I'm tryin' to trace
Who's puttin' sponge in the bells I once rung
And takin' my gypsy before she's begun
To singin' the meaning of what's in my mind
Before I can take home what's rightfully mine
Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes
Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the time

And who's sayin',"Baby, that don't mean a thing
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing?"

And who's all hung up on that happiness thing
Who's tryin' to tune all the bells that he rings
And who's in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper, just countin' the score?
Who's tryin' to act like he's just in between?
The night isn't black if you know that it's green
But don't bother lookin', you're too blind to see
Who's comin' on like he wanted to be?

And who's sayin',"Baby, that don't mean a thing
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing?"

And who's comin' home on old ninety-five
Who's got the feeling to keep him alive?
Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same
It ain't a gold nugget, you can't lay a claim
Who's seein' eyes through the crack in the floor?
There it is, baby, don't you worry no more
Who should be sleeping, but's writin' this song?
Wishin' and hopin' he weren't so damn wrong?

And who's sayin',"Baby, that don't mean a thing
'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing?"
